WWE News: Jack Swagger wants Cesaro to become WWE Champion
What's the story?
Jack Swagger, who is a former World Heavyweight Champion, in an interview with sports illustrated recently spoke about his former tag team partner as a part of the team "Real Americans" - Cesaro.
He stated that in his opinion Cesaro deserves to be the WWE Champion and that Cesaro is his favourite wrestler on the roster as of now.
In case you didn't know...
Jack Swagger worked with the WWE From 2009 to 2016 and is a former World Champion, ECW Champion and US Champion.
Jack Swagger is now preparing to make his debut in the world of MMA and has signed with top MMA promotion - Bellator.
Cesaro has been working for the WWE since 2011. Prior to signing with the WWE, he had made a huge name for himself on the independent circuit working for promotions like ROH,PWG and Chikara.
Cesaro is the current RAW Tag Team Champion along with Sheamus, who are in their 3rd reign together as a team.
The Heart of the Matter
Jack Swagger stated in the interview that Cesaro is his current favourite wrestler on the roster. He said it used to be Kurt Angle but Cesaro has taken that spot now.
Swagger further went on to add that Cesaro is a Superstar who helps everyone and that Jack himself has learnt a lot from Cesaro over the course of their friendship and teaming together.
He talked about how smart Cesaro is and that not only is he a great athlete but he also knows what will work in a match and what will not. He also spoke about Cesaro's time in the independent circuit and how this has resulted in him having a chip on his shoulder to prove himself.
Here is an excerpt from the interview:
"He’s so flexible, and he’s made all his tag team partners better. He made Tyson Kidd better, and he was the driving force for me in the Real Americans tag team. His big swing is gold. He’s very hungry, and coming from the indies, he has a chip on his shoulder and a lot to prove. He uses that as fuel to keep getting better and not get complacent, and he would be the perfect guy to be world champ"
What's next?
After having appeared at numerous independent promotions, Jack Swagger will be looking to make an impressive debut for Bellator MMA in 2018.
Cesaro and Sheamus are currently embroiled in a rivalry with shield and will defend their Tag Team Championships against Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins soon.
Author's take
Cesaro is one of the most talented and underutilised superstars on the roster right now. As a 4-time Tag Team Champion, he has solidified himself as a great Tag Team Wrestler but WWE need to put their faith in him as a singles competitor as well.
I will be extremely happy if Cesaro wins the WWE Championship in the future; he has most certainly earned it.
